This IS a Self-Love Movement

Season 2 Episode 15 of The WISDOM podcast

with Dorothy Ratusny

 

In this episode, I've been inspired to share what I am naming The Self-Love Movement; because we all need to reclaim self-love; we need to understand what it means and we need to live it - as one solution for growing our confidence and self-worth and for being willing to live self-sustainably and of our ‘truth’; and in the present moment because this is how we witness our innate happiness.

 

 

 

Here’s an important secret: All of us face the same challenges. You might suspect that our common challenge is related to finances, or whether we are loved; or if we have the right job, or if we have chosen the best partner?

 

These are also challenges of the physical world that we may have made our reality.

 

Here’s the thing: Innate happiness is not attached to any ‘thing’. Rather it’s what you feel as you live of the present moment + this feeling is perpetuated as you make a commitment to yourself to live with your heart open, free in giving of your kindness and love to others and to yourself.

 

Happiness is not attached to a thing, or a person, or to you bank account; to what you own, to what you child says or does; its about acknowledging who you are; and living and loving the being that you are.

 

This is why we choose to do the work – the inner work – of our self. It’s to free us from harbouring pain and hurt of the past; to make peace with what is; to practice acceptance of what has already happened, and to decide how we will choose to be now and in our future.

 

If you want to put yourself in a state of happiness, of peace, of joy; if you want to eliminate anxiety, fear, self-doubt – to feel truly alive and to honour your choices and decisions; if you really want to live "heaven on earth"; you must begin here; with what you tell yourself each day and also to make the conscious choice to be happy; among the obligations, the decision-making, of what you may have less control over, and to wake each day deciding to be grateful, to feel happy, practising living present moment awareness and awake to all of the experiences of your life and of knowing what will allow you to be in a state of self-love – for example opening your heart by choice. Because being love is also a choice.

 

How does being love relate to self-love? As you choose to live in a state of love, gratitude, and happiness; it becomes a natural outpouring of this state to be loving and kind; directed towards yourself.

 

You may think about self-love as taking care of your needs, of honouring and respecting yourself; of practising loving-kindness directed within and using encouraging self-talk; but when you live in a state of love; your consciousness rises; you live in an enlightened state.  The state of love allows for you to instantly experience the feelings and the mindset of pure presence; of consciousness. It is an example of being fully in the now.

 

This state is what best supports you to freely feel innate happiness. This inspires every other decision and action that you make; all towards living with your heart open and of love.

 

Join me in this episode as I walk you through a beautiful experience of accessing this state of awareness; a state of love that will empower you to live true to yourself, and mobilize you to have the best outcomes because you are in the right mindset; you are happy, peaceful, content and grateful. This is a practice of being loving, directed towards yourself.  Namaste!! xo
